> I'm part native american--doesn'that give me free reign to get rid of the europeons?
what do you think?
was anybody in the us before the native americans?
reperation... i think you are owed one hell of a lot in reparation.
a lot of what was done to the american indians was shameful.
giving them blankets infested with small pox and relocating them to canada... stuff like that.
a lot of things like that happened in nz too. to the maori (indigenous people of nz). don't think anybody was here before them (though that is a bit arguable).
they were invited to church at which point the doors were barred shut and the church was set on fire.
they are owed reperation imho.
years of racism thereafter...
they are owed reperation.
but then i also think... that all human beings have a right to life. my understanding was that your ancestors were pretty nice and friendly to the immigrants to america. your ancestors got f*cked over. badly. that sucks. but imho... don't perpeptuate the cycle. there are people from mexico and africa etc etc who are having a little trouble.
remember your roots...
i know people think i'm crazy...
but better to die with a clean conscience
but that being said
i understand the rage
